I am new to java so i really hope the problem is really caused by a runnable that jams the key event listener like i think.
I have class Roll that calls another class TimerImageSwapper, that creates a runnable in the builder. Later on Roll is calling TimerImageSwapper#run() through the class main() method.
The purpose of the TimerImageSwapper is to simulate cube rolling by displaying random faces and landing on a certain value.
The method's main receives the caller JFrame class as input when it is called so that the result is displayed in the initial JFrame.
Once the number is determined I want the user to be able to darken the screen by pressing spacebar. Thats the part that doesn’t work.
P.S. I am assuming it's a threading problem because it runs just fine in debugging mode.
Roll class looks like this:

I am aware that I’ve got plenty of badly executed code and would appreciate any tips.
Thanks.
